About
Matthias Church, also known as Mátyás-templom or the Church of Our Lady, stands in the heart of the Buda Castle District in Budapest, Hungary. Its address is Szentháromság tér 2, on the square of the Holy Trinity, a short walk from the historic streets of the Castle Hill.
The church is a Gothic building, and it is easy to recognise from a distance by its colourful roof tiles. Inside, the interior is richly ornate, and it rewards a slow look at its details. It was the coronation church of the Hungarian kings, which gives a visit a particular historical interest for anyone curious about the country's royal past.
What a visit offers
- Architecture: a Gothic church with a striking, patterned roof and an elaborate interior.
- History: a building closely tied to the coronations of the Hungarian kings.
- Setting: the church sits within the Buda Castle District, so it pairs naturally with a walk around the castle area.
